Happy Green Beer Day!

All schools have fun traditions and celebrations, and today my school is having one of my FAVORITE all time celebrations. Today is Green Beer Day, which is a long standing tradition that takes place the Thursday before spring break starts. It started because St. Patrick's Day used to fall during our spring break (it doesn't anymore) and is basically just a fun way to celebrate the start of spring break! Basically what happens is that you drink all day (not that I'm saying this is a good thing!) and all of the bars start serving at 5:30am. My friends and I have never been up that early to celebrate, so were planning on getting up at 4am to be there bright and early. I absolutely LOVE this tradition, and think that it's one of the best events during the school year. What are some traditions at your school that you love?

And here is my last spring break clue (You guys are REALLLY close!)

Clue 3: There are over 25 miles of beaches (thanks Google!)

A Recap in Pictures

I was going over my posts today, and besides from my Tunes Tuesday posts, (which I don't know about all of you but I've been having a great time digging through my Itunes to come up with songs and a theme) and I noticed that I have been a REALLY bad blogger lately. All of the school work that goes along with senior year has been catching up with me, and the fact that I have be (semi) actively job hunting. Which reminds me...remember the job interview that I had a couple weeks ago? Well it went really well because I have a second interview on Tuesday! I have no idea if this is going to go anywhere but I really hope it does because 1.) I need a job, 2.) the company sounds really cool and it's in a field (digital marketing) that I'm interested in and 3.) I REALLY need a job!

Besides from that nothing that exciting has happend so I decided that I would recap my last couple weeks in pictures...because nothing is more fun than that right? These are from the last two weeks and include my bday, halloween, and my other housemate S's bday. Enjoy!

I also have seen that other bloggers are saying something that they are thankful for each day of November, and while I can't promise to say something each day I'm going to do the best I can! Today I'm thankful for the "Leaves" scented candle that I got from Bath and Body Works. I can't really describe the smell but it's delish and is making my room smell like Fall!

I Seriously Have the Best Friends EVER!!

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it on here but one of my all time favorite bands, and hands down FAVORITE concert to go to is Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. I'll even just go to Bruce by myself but the E Street Band always makes it alot more fun! So imagine how FREAKING excited/happy/so blown away when S and M surprised me with tickets (for my birthday in October) to see:



in November!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH I am SOOOO excited and I am so blown away by my friends generosity....absolutely amazing!! Soooo in just a few short months I'll be screaming BRUUUUUUUCE and I can't WAIT!!

Cheers to You Cheers to Me

I want to thank everyone for your sweet comments in my last two posts...I am feeling a little better so thanks! Now I'm calling on all of you for your help...this will be fun I swear! I don't know about you, but one of my favorite parts of vacation is drinking in the afternoon (or morning haha) without feeling totally guilty. On saturday I'm going on vacation to Michigan to see my entire extended family for a week. Now don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVE my family to death but they can be a little, um, eccentric, or in other words they put the fun in dysfunctional! 

My parents and I (I'm an only child if you haven't figured that out by now!) are staying in a cottage with my very cool aunt, and over the years we've all figured out that the best way to enjoy our family is through the help of some fun drinks! I have my fair share of recipes but I want to ask all of you if you have any fun drink recipes you'd like to share...any and all would be appreciated! Thanks so much in advance and I hope I'm not the only one with interesting families out there!

The Weekend is HERE!!

Sorry in advance: Since I haven't blogged all week this is going to be a LONGG picture heavy post...hope you enjoy haha

WAHOOO! 4th of July weekend is HERE!! So I don't know about anyone else but this week seriously could NOT have gone slower. Sorry about not posting since Monday but between babysitting for 3 hours in the morning, going to my internship for 5 hours in the afternoon, and shredding at night I am sooo tired! This morning started off a little rough with waking up 15 minutes before I had to be at the girl's house and looking sick nasty all day but....babysitting is done, my internship is done (for the week at least haha) and I've shredded for the day so THE WEEKEND IS HERE! As I'm sure you can tell by the picture above I am so excited for the 4th and hopefully some nice weather! I'm off to Vermont for the weekend so this will be my last post until then but I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I want to share pics from my FANTASTIC weekend to DC...btw def planning on moving there so if anyone know of any jobs opening next year for a Com major let me know haha ;)...but before I do so I want to say a couple Thank Yous! 

So a couple days ago Denise over at Seersucker Scrapper (who has the cutest blog so go check it out now!) awarded me the Lovely Blog Award which I feel so honored to get!

1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his/her link.

2. Pass the award to 5 other bloggers that you have newly discovered

I absolutely love LOVE discovering new blogs so here they are! (obvi in no particular order)

DC Prep

The New Black

Alright! So even though this happened SUCH a long time ago I would LOVE to thank my koozie swap partner Ashley (she doesn't have a blog) for the adorable koozie she sent me! I can't wait to use it (if it ever gets halfway decent out haha) 

Next I want to say thank you Thank You THANK YOU to my absolutely AMAZING summer swap partner Bonnie over at Meanderings of Life for her fantastic package she sent me! I am one lucky lady and am getting spoiled! 

Everything still tucked away in the box

All my great goodies! I got a SUPER cute beach bag that I can't wait to use, the book 10 Little Blue Envelopes that looks great and I'm going to read after I finish book 7 of Sookie Stackhouse, yummy body lotion, a great water bottle, and a gorgeous wooden box!

And look at all of these goodies that were in the box! I can't wait to use all of them and are SERIOUSLY spoiled! 

Ok so last but definitely not least, as I've said before my trip to DC was the best time ever and I've totally fallen in love! Thank you to all for your great suggestions...we didn't get The Matchbox but my friends agree with you and said it was fantastic so I def want to head there on my next visit (or if I end up moving there haha) 

Friday S and I woke up and headed over to the Hill for our friend C (who's interning for his state rep) to give us a great tour of the Capital! It was so amazing and even though I went there in 8th grade I loved hearing about all of the history, and seeing a few things that I didn't before (sitting in on the House...SO COOL) which made it a great tour! After the tour S and I hit the white house and a bunch of monuments and then went to meet friends for happy hour and dinner at Tony's and Nick's (I think that's it) that was right on the harbor in Georgetown. It was SO YUMMY and pretty and we all had the best time! That night we all headed over to Adams Morgan to Brass Monkey which was soooooo much fun! It was a great bar, and was really cool because it had a ton of different levels (including a rooftop bar) that we just kept discovering!

Saturday, after a VERY late night we all woke up late, had brunch, and went to the Holocaust Museum. Really no words can describe it except...WOW. I visited there in 8th grade but really didn't get as much out of it as I did this time and it was incredibly sad and very moving. A group of us then headed over to the Jefferson memorial after and then to Clyde's in Georgetown which was sooo delish! After dinner we went to Georgetown Cupcake which were the best cupcakes I've ever had (and now I'm wondering if they ship haha) went back to their apartment and then went to Brass Monkey again for another great (and late!) night. 

Sunday we were going to go to Georgetown to shop but it was raining so we all went to the mall at Pentagon City where we did some shopping, and then I left for my funnn (haha) plane ride home! Overall a GREAT weekend! Ok so here are pictures but for your sake (sorry this is LONG!) no captions this time as I'm sure you know the people and places.

Have a great 4th of July weekend!

Naples!

I hope everyone is having a great week! Nothing too exciting happening right now...after my shopping spree at Frugal Fannies I was bad and went to TJ Maxx and Target yesterday and found some really cute stuff! At TJ I found an awesome Matty M navy maxi dress which I think I'm going to take with me to DC this weekend and at Target I found the Tracy Feith white zip up dress which will be SO cute for this weekend as well! After DC I'm DEF going to have to slow down on shopping for a while! 

Sooooo without further ado here are some pictures from Naples! 

Me, S, and S's Mom at this AWESOME bar called the English Pub! We went on the first night and seriously had the BEST time! 

Also at the English Pub...we had LOTS of fun taking pictures that night!! 

At Tommy Bahamas for dinner on the 2nd night...it was so delicious! 

The beautiful sunset...my favorite part of Naples! 

The English Pub

My other favorite part of Naples...the pier and the beach!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!! This week is almost over...YAY and can anyone else believe that this is the LAST WEEK in June? I can't believe next weekend is the 4th of July...crazy this summer is flying by! If you're having rain like we are...stay dry!

Enough Already!!

Ugh I think I can speak for everyone in the Boston/New York/New England region when I say ENOUGH ALREADY with this rain!! I really don't think I can take anymore of this and hopefully the weather people are right and this will stop by Wednesday! I'm going to DC this weekend with S so hopefully the weather will be nice there! 

Despite the gross weather my weekend was GREAT! Friday C and I as well as a couple of my HS friends got together for L, one of my bff's 21st birthday! It was SO much fun...we went to this amazing restaurant called La Summa in the North End and then bar hopped around the Faneuil Hall area. Oh man if you are ever in the area PLEASE go to La Summa....seriously some of the BEST Italian food I've ever had and it wasn't that expensive either! I had the Gnocci (sp?) which was so delish, but I tried everyone else's too and everything there was just great! We wanted to head over to Mike's Pastry after for some birthday cannolis but were so full we skipped them and headed to the bars!

The weather cleared just in time to go out and it wasn't too humid either which made it such a great evening! The first three pics are a couple touristy pictures I took while walking to the restaurant. Even though I go to this area fairly often it was way too nice out not to take a couple pictures!! 

K, L, and C at La Summa

We saw this boutique while walking to the restaurant and L, L, and I HAD to take a picture under it! Besides having a GREAT name (haha) the clothes looked really cute so I might have to stop by for a peek! 

All of us (C, G, Me, L, and K) at the first bar

Me and the bday girl

 G, Me, K, and L towards the end of the night haha

After waking up on Saturday morning at L's apartment and feeling a little, um, ROUGH haha I headed off to work in the boutique for the day which was somewhat interesting because I was SOOO tired! That night I decided to take it somewhat easy and went to see the Proposal with my family. OMG it was GREAT!! Ryan Renolds and Sandra Bullock were adorable and it was the funniest, cutest movie! Definitely one for the DVD collection! It was also fun because the theater where we saw it has dinner and drinks for you while you watch the movie which was lots of fun as well! 

Yesterday I had to work (boo) but before I headed to Frugal Fannies to check out the Molly B close out sale (KLC also mentioned this on her blog) We sell Molly B at my store and although the company still exists the stuff at Frugal Fannies is from her old warehouse which she sold to new people.  OMG if you are AT ALL in the are PLEASE GO NOW! Your closet will thank you and your wallet won't be hurting that much either! I got a dress, a skirt, and two tops and spent 55 dollars! Woohoo! I have pictures but I think I posted enough in this post so I'll put them up later. After work and Shredding, we had a great Father's day dinner with portobello mushroom burgers (they were delish!) and potato salad with carrot cake for dessert, and then I watched True Blood which was FANTASTIC! Was it just me or was this ep funnier than ususal? I found my self laughing alot and I am obsessed with Eric's new haircut! I also found Bill SO HOT when he was screaming at Sookie and pissed off at the end of the ep....next week looks so good! Have a great Monday and stay dry!

Happy Birthday C!!

     (the only slightly old picture I could find of the two of us due to computer crashes earlier this year!)

So like I mentioned earlier today is my BFF's 21st birthday and I could NOT be happier! C and I first met in the 4th grade when we both went trick or treating with a mutual friend of ours, and we both HATED each other because we both thought that we were "best friends" with the mutual friend so we couldn't be friends with each other. In the 6th grade when C came to my school, we still weren't really friends with each other and really only became close in high school. C and I have had the CRAZIEST and most random experiences together and I am SOO happy that she is finally 21!! I can't wait to celebrate with her tonight and it is going to be so much fun!!

On a totally different note....does anyone else feel like they just went though an emotional battlefield last night just by watching tv?? First there was Grey's which I was a little teary throughout but by the end I was shouting at the TV and bawling (I won't say why for anyone who hasn't watched it yet but the last 5 min are a DOOZY!!) Then I watched the Office, and was crying at the end of that too because I was just so happy for Jim and Pam and think they are the cutest! The worst for me was Bones, (don't know if anyone out there watches it but if you don't you should) which I watched last because I didn't think it was going to be sad at all and then had such a sad ending that I started crying all over again! WHEW... I don't think I can handle any sadness on tv for a while! 

So I think this will probably be it for me until I come back from Ireland. I hope everyone has a great week and can't wait to catch up with you all when I come back!  Oh and I know swap partners for the koozie and summer swap are going to be announced Monday so future partners if you read this I'll try to email you in Ireland but most likely will email you after!
